From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 116 The Name of Qingxiao
"Unexpected windfall, not bad, not bad. It seems that doing good deeds will be rewarded by Heaven."

Li Qingqiu smiled, feeling pleased.

Instead of moving the medicinal herbs, he turned around and went out to deal with the people in the Cui residence first.

Besides rescuing the imprisoned girl, Li Qingqiu also witnessed many heinous scenes. The Cui family was truly as evil as the Demonic Sect, and they deserved to die.

Li Qingqiu chose to eliminate all members of the Cui family to prevent them from retaliating against the imprisoned girls.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Qingqiu returned to the courtyard where the medicinal herbs were stored. He was still carrying a piece of cloth in his hands. He put the cloth on the ground and then carried the boxes of medicinal herbs one by one.

After he finished moving the items, he whistled and then waited quietly.

About ten breaths later, a strong wind came down, and the courtyard darkened. Xiao Ba descended from the sky, its wings covering the entire courtyard.

Li Qingqiu glared at it, told it to move outside the courtyard to wait, and then began to move the boxes, put them on its back, and tied them with cloth to make sure they wouldn't spill. After making sure they wouldn't spill, Li Qingqiu told it to deliver the batch of medicinal herbs back to Qingxiao Sect.

Little Ba flapped its wings and soared into the sky. Li Qingqiu watched with bated breath, fearing that Little Ba would shake the boxes off.

If this were to fall and accidentally kill someone, wouldn't that be a terrible sin?
Li Qingqiu was lost in thought when she walked toward the gate of the Cui residence.

There must be a lot of money in the Cui mansion, but he's too lazy to take it. He'll just leave it to the people of this city. As long as more people rob it, no one will sue each other.

Li Qingqiu suddenly thought, "If only I had a storage magic artifact, that would be wonderful."

Although Qingxiao Sect is becoming stronger, its cultivation methods are not yet diverse enough, and it needs all kinds of talents to promote this.

Unfortunately, geniuses are always few and far between, especially creative geniuses.

We still need to cast a wide net!

The more disciples there are, the more problems will arise, but it will also accelerate the development of the Qingxiao Sect's path to immortality. This is what Li Qingqiu needs now, since he has already established a power structure and has many people to help him share the burden.

To speed up the recruitment of disciples, he had to find a way to increase his reputation, which was why he sent Li Sifeng and Wu Man'er down the mountain.

The more renowned masters Qingxiao Sect has, the more its strength is revealed; having only one or two powerful figures is not enough.

As Li Qingqiu pondered, he walked toward the gate of the Cui residence.

He came with dignity, so he should leave with dignity as well.

As he walked out the gate, the crowd gathered outside immediately fell silent, all looking at him nervously.

Bo Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Qingqiu was unharmed. At the same time, he was very curious about Li Qingqiu. Earlier, someone had gone to the gate to look inside and saw Cui Yong's body.

After being kicked by Cui Yong, Bo Zhao realized the gap between himself and Cui Yong. With such a comparison, he could not imagine how high Li Qingqiu's martial arts skills were.

Li Qingqiu looked around, searching for the imprisoned girls. Some were hugging their parents and crying loudly, some were still looking for their families, and some looked confused, clearly orphans.

Li Qingqiu turned his gaze to Bo Zhao and walked straight toward him.

The people were so frightened that they all retreated. Although Li Qingqiu had come to deal with the Cui family, the screams from inside the Cui mansion still echoed in their ears, making them afraid that Li Qingqiu would continue to kill.

Li Qingqiu walked up to Bo Zhao, and the yamen runners around Bo Zhao trembled, but this time they did not let go.

"I'm warning you, we are government officials, don't... act recklessly!"

"A fat constable said in a trembling voice, his hand holding the knife shaking so badly it was almost a blur," he said.

Ignoring his warning, Li Qingqiu stared at Bo Zhao and said, "My name is Li Qingqiu, and I come from Qingxiao Sect. If the Cui family investigates, you can reveal my name and background. Also, if those children have nowhere to go, could you help me take them to Qingxiao Mountain? If you are willing, you should think it over carefully. The journey is long and there will be many difficulties and dangers. Be prepared before you set off."

After saying this, Li Qingqiu turned and left, and the people quickly made way for him, not daring to block his way.

Only after Li Qingqiu had gone far away did the people begin to discuss it.

"So you're from the Qingxiao Sect. I've heard of the Qingxiao Sect's chivalry for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be true."

“We can’t let Qingxiao Sect take the blame for this entirely. Everyone should spread the word about the evil deeds done by the Cui family.”

"Won't doing this invite retaliation from the Cui family?"

"You're just a piece of trash. The Cui family in Pancheng has been wiped out. What are you afraid of? Besides, the army of the Seven States is right in front of Wushen Pass. That Hero Li is here. Maybe he's going to support Wushen Pass. Perhaps he can kill Chang Wu and become famous throughout the world."

"Did you see a dark shadow fly out of the Cui residence just now? It looked like an eagle..."

As the people were excitedly discussing, Bo Zhao turned his head to look, but there were too many people around, making it impossible for him to see Li Qingqiu.

He suddenly felt the pain in his body lessen, and he subconsciously touched his chest, only to find a silver needle in his chest. He immediately thought of Li Qingqiu, so he did not remove the silver needle.

He had long heard of the Qingxiao Sect. The Qingxiao Sect not only fought against the Demonic Sect, but also excelled at healing the sick and curing people, something that many martial arts sects could not do.

When I saw it today, it certainly lived up to its reputation.

The first girl in plain clothes that Li Qingqiu rescued was being held by the woman, but her gaze remained fixed on the direction Li Qingqiu had left in. ...

As the moon set and the sun rose, at noon, the army of the seven states advanced along the Wushen Official Road, approaching Wushen Pass. The hundreds of thousands of troops moved slowly through the mountains like a black dragon, their momentum magnificent.

Wu Man'er, clad in armor, rode a black horse. He occasionally adjusted his armor, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

His armor wasn't particularly refined, like most generals', but his imposing physique made it look impressive, drawing glances from the surrounding soldiers.

Wu Man'er and Li Sifeng arrived yesterday, and the army set off again today, which made the soldiers very curious about the two of them.

Hearing that they were experts from the Qingxiao Sect made the soldiers somewhat worried.

They had already invited many martial arts masters, but all of them were slain by Changwu.

More than a month has passed in front of Wushen Pass, and many soldiers are doubting whether they can actually break through it.

Behind Wu Man'er, on a carriage, King Wei Zhao Qi and Li Sifeng stood side by side, with a middle-aged man standing next to them. This middle-aged man was Pei Zhangzhi, the patriarch of the Pei clan and Pei Miao's father.

Although Pei Zhangzhi was wearing armor, he looked more like a scholar.

King Zhao Qi of Wei looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a weathered face and a long beard reaching his chest. He gripped the railings of the carriage with both hands, his gaze fixed on Wu Man'er.

“Li Sifeng, your senior brother is indeed extraordinary. His physique looks impressive; he’s clearly a fierce general.”

King Zhao Qi of Wei remarked that the more he looked at Wu Man'er, the more he liked her.

Li Sifeng, with one hand on the hilt of the Emperor Xuan Sword and the other on the railing, laughed and said, "Of course, my fifth senior brother has been strong since he was a child. The external martial arts he cultivates are all about fierceness. You will know how powerful he is when he faces Chang Wu later."

They arrived yesterday and are about to start fighting today. Li Sifeng didn't feel rushed; instead, he felt their trust.

He was determined to kill the arrogant thug today!

If Fifth Senior Brother makes a mistake, then he will step in.

Pei Zhangzhi laughed and said, "I've heard that the Qingxiao Sect has a unique skill called the Hunyuan Scripture. Qingxiao Sect disciples judge the strength of martial arts based on the levels of this skill. I wonder what level Wu Man'er has reached?"

Li Sifeng replied, "Five levels is enough to make me invincible."

Zhao Qi glanced at Li Sifeng and thought the kid was too arrogant. If it weren't for Pei Zhangzhi's support for Li Sifeng, he would really want to teach Li Sifeng a lesson.

Zhao Qi chuckled and said, "Then I'll wait and see. If he can truly kill Chang Wu, I will certainly appoint him as a general!"

The three chatted and laughed, and their confidence and composure inspired the other generals and soldiers. After all, they had failed too many times in the past month, and they needed their lord to be full of confidence.

When the hundreds of thousands of troops from the seven prefectures arrived at Wushen Pass, the imperial army had already assembled, and the city walls were filled with soldiers holding bows, ready for battle.

The massive city gate of Wushen Pass, towering five zhang high, burst open, and a fierce general in black armor rode out on horseback, carrying a large sword. The red horse beneath him was much taller than ordinary military horses, perfectly matching his strong, bear-like figure.

This fierce general in black armor is none other than Chang Wu!

Chang Wu had a dark complexion, eyes like a leopard, eyebrows like knives, and a full beard. The broadsword in his hand was nearly ten feet long, with the blade taking up a quarter of its length. He dragged the broadsword on the ground, making a piercing sound.

"King Wei, this time will you choose a duel between generals, or a direct assault?"

"How about I give you some advice? Let's launch a full-scale attack, with the whole army at once. That way, I can kill to my heart's content and make you lose confidence early on, then go home and wait to die!"

The arrogant and boastful man laughed loudly, his voice like thunder, echoing among the mountains and even startling birds into flying away.

On the side of the Seven States army, the vast majority of soldiers felt humiliated upon hearing Chang Wu's words, and all gripped their weapons tightly.

King Wei snorted coldly and gave a look to one of his generals.

"Beat the drums and make way!"

The general raised the flag and shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the drums sounded, and the soldiers in front moved to the sides, making way for Wu Man'er, creating a path that was nearly two miles long.

Standing on the carriage, Li Sifeng said to Wu Man'er, "Fifth Senior Brother, go up and kill him without holding back. The faster you kill him, the higher the morale will be!"

Wu Man'er turned back and nodded to Li Sifeng with a simple smile, then cracked her whip and spurred her horse forward.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the army, and soldiers turned their gazes to Wu Man'er. Judging from his posture, they all knew that he was going to fight Chang Wu.

Even though Wu Man'er was extremely fierce and powerful, they still hoped that he could win.

It's not just for the sake of the army's reputation, but also for the sake of their families. Only by capturing the Demon Emperor as soon as possible and changing the world can their families escape danger.

Wu Man'er was unaware of the hopes he carried. He paid no attention to the gazes along the way, staring intently at the distant Changwu, his face gradually contorting into a ferocious expression.
